Here’s a lil sneak preview of what I’ve been working on recently. I’ll be picking it up again later this year, but the design is really coming along. With thanks to @particleswe.bsky.social who’s been working on the Core Data ✌️.

I recently added this sort of effect to some of the stock wallpapers too, looks pretty neat. Not as clean as yours of course.

Was just holding the iPhone 7 Plus and it’s got me so much more excited for the 17 Air. How they managed to pack so much in such a thin device is insane. Looks and feels so sleek. Let’s get thin devices back!

I get bored of my set up, so change it frequently. Here’s my iPhone 15 Pro, with a gloss white skin and customised icons to match.

When thinking about my goals for 2025, an image sprung to mind…

The new Send Later feature is going to come in handy for all those midnight iMessages this evening 😉

I’ve always wondered about “FindMy etiquette”… do people have all their family and friends on the app? What’s the norm? I have friends a family, some people have none, some people have more. What’s the average usage, the social norm?

🤔🤔

Didn’t get your cat a gift this year? Have no fear! Lola’s Toy Box is completely free on the App Store!

I always loved the simplicity of this iOS8 wallpaper (Dark mode modified).

Something about was always so calming.

Some question why I have a leaf as my background occasionally. I suppose without further thought, it is a little odd but, it seems very soothing to me. Very, dare I say, “Demure”.

Does anyone else code with an M1 MacBook Air, and find that the majority of their time is spent waiting for the preview to load?

Next one will be a pro. Didn’t have the dollar at the time.

Show me something you’ve worked on that was super fun, an app, a feature, a view, anything!

I’ll start:

I thoroughly enjoyed working on this loading screen animation for Harmony Journal by Harmony Apps. It’s an animated SwiftUI shape!

Splitting the new app into bitesize tasks.

Today, ContentView design assets.

Looking forward to making these three into assets. Not so much the battle with alignment that is sure to come…

Definitely not going with the font for that “i” either 😂

So I went to a new pub tonight. They had all these portraits of historical figures on the walls, painted in recent times.

This one was at my table…

Is…is that not Steve?

I’m thinking of using this classic. Needs a bit of polish but this is the mock up for light mode.

Right. Next week, I plan to progress my designs, get ContentView looking good! Then, it’s time to work on some features.

Using Clear To Do as always, to get my plan in order ✌️

Gotta get them Squares and Circles done 😉

I like the stock wallpapers, and I like to theme them if I can.

Too early?
